Breezy vs Lever Pricing

Lever doesn't publish its prices. Its pricing page says pricing is available upon request and tailored to your organization's size and hiring needs, so you'll need a quote to see a number.

Breezy lists every plan price up front, so you can compare before you talk to anyone.

Buyers who've shared what they pay paint a clear picture. Pin, citing Vendr data, reports roughly $6,000 a year for small teams, about $12,240 for a 200-person company and about $63,172 for a 1,000-person company. Compono puts the rate at $6 to $8 per employee per month. Lever bills on total company headcount, so the invoice climbs as you grow, even when your hiring doesn't.

Breezy works the other way. You pay a flat monthly rate for your plan, no matter how many employees you have, and every hiring manager you add is included. Candidate texting is an optional add-on starting at $41 a month.
